email@example.com Former Jonesboro Police Chief Brad Johnson, who was fired last week, has filed an appeal with the city to get his job back. "Brad carried a letter to the city hall today, asking for a hearing before the city council, pursuant to the city charter and code, asking that he be placed on the first available agenda," said Johnson's attorney, Keith Martin Thursday. Jonesboro Mayor Luther Maddox said he had not, yet, seen the letter, and referred all questions to City Attorney Steven Fincher. "We haven't seen anything he [Johnson] might have filed, so there's no way I can respond to it," said Fincher Wednesday. He said he could not give a time frame for the city's response to the filing. Martin said the deadline for the city to respond is not clear. "Some provisions [in the charter], I believe, require it to be done within 20 days. Then there are other provisions that don't set a time line," said Martin. Maddox said he fired Johnson because he did not successfully complete his "working test," presumably a probationary period. Johnson said he believed the "working test" referred to probation, but said he was not aware that there was a probationary period for the police chief. He also said he does not believe the mayor has the authority to fire the chief without the council's approval. Johnson's firing comes after Maddox suspended him last month for wearing blue jeans on the job, and for what Maddox said was disrespect of the office of mayor. In an appeal hearing, the council upheld the suspension, but reduced it from five days without pay to 2 1/2 days without pay. Martin said Johnson will appeal the suspension in court. "We have already ordered the [appeal hearing] transcript," said Martin. "As soon as that transcript is available, we will be filing an appeal in Superior Court," he said.More like this story

Letter: We have forgotten lessons of attacks
Don DeVan, Knoxville
When the dust settles and the celebrations subside and the police and politicians finish patting themselves on the back, the question remains why unattended packages, in this case backpacks, were ignored and allowed to be left unattended at the Boston Marathon. After 9/11, many wore items with the slogan "We will never forget," but apparently we have. However, none in the political/media class will be held responsible, just as no government official has ever been held responsible for the security lapses that allowed 9/11. Maybe if we had been told the truth about Benghazi. And maybe if Fort Hood had not been called "workplace violence." And how about the media, including the Knoxville media, stop using the corrupt, far-left Southern Poverty Law Center as their go-to source for "terrorism" in America. The real threat remains Muslim extremists and not law-abiding, patriotic, Constitution-loving, gun-owning, Christian Americans. Finally, say what you want about President George W. Bush, but he took the fight to the enemy and made us safe at home. President Barack Obama? Not so much.

Phillips joined CBS News in 1982 as a reporter based in London and covered events throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He became the first non-British correspondent to report from the Falkland Islands during Great Britain's conflict with Argentina in 1982.
Prior to joining CBS News, Phillips was a reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in London. Before that, he was the CBC's Parliament correspondent, based in Ottawa.

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE FAMILY NAME MOGRIDGE/ MOGGRIDGE By Gerald Moggridge ( born Wandsworth, London, 1929) Origins It is generally agreed among genealogists that the family name MOGRIDGE or MOGGRIDGE is a " west country name ", with the largest early concentrations found in Devon and Somerset. Beyond that, however, there is precious little agreement. Some genealogist claim that the name is simply a diminutive of Margaret ( " Moggy ", " Mogga " ) ; other say that it is a place name ( " Mogga's Ridge " ) which begs the question, why is Mogga called Mogga ? Among a welter of definitions the one I favour is Henry Harrison's, in volume 1 of his book " Surnames of the United Kingdom " (1969). Harrison seeks to interpret both syllables of the name, thus: " MOGGRIDGE " ( Eng. ) Dweller at the Great Ridge. ( Middle English; muk-el rigge, or muk-el rugge. Old English; myc-el hrycg ) ". In simple terms, the MOG (G) RIDGE family were hill people. To me, Harrison's definition makes both topographical sense and linguistic sense. Topographically, my researches have always pointed to the fact that the early concentrations of the MOGRIDGE/MOGGRIDGE name have been found in the higher elevations of the west country - Exmoor (Molland, Exford, etc) in the Brendon Hills, in North Somerset (Minehead, Porlock, Selworthy ) and in the Mendips and Quantocks. Similarly, some of the earliest spellings of the name that I have come across carry a lot of the flavour of Harrison's Old English definition - especially the presence of the letter y ( MOGRYG, MOGGARYGGE ). Earliest Known References Although there are some references to the surname MOGG and MOGGE in the 12th century the earliest recognisably MOG(G)RIDGE names I have found from the 14th century. They appear in the book " Devon Place Names " ( Public Record Office) and the earliest of them all was in 1333:
The SR means that the source was the Devon Lay Subsidy Rolls for 1333. Significantly, the (p) means that this book goes on to give other 14th century spellings including MOGGERIGGE (1351) and MOGGARYGGE (1394) both from the Devon Assize Rolls. The earliest west country IGI ref. is " JOHN MOGGRYG, son of Philip. Molland, Devon 11 September 1541 ". The earliest London IGI ref. is " JOAN MORGRAGE married Tristram Blaby ( Minister of the Church) , St Mary Aldermary. 1 Dec. 1590 ". Earliest Known "Quote" from a MOG (G) RIDGE The earliest known statement attributed to a member of the MOG (G) RIDGE - family and referring to the history of the family - was that of a JOHN MAWGRIDGE in 1708. Tragically, JOHN (a soldier in the First Troop of Guards) was a convicted murderer and was on his way to the gallows when he made his statement - to the prison chaplain who accompanied him on the journey from Newgate to Tyburn. After expressing his shame and remorse for the crime and describing the circumstances that had led up to it, JOHN told the chaplain, clearly with some pride, that "both my father and ancestors had had the honour to serve the Crown for above 200 years..." Sadly, JOHN MAWGRIDGE was executed that day (28 April 1708) but we can be grateful that his testimony has lived on to tell us that the "military branch" of MAWGRIDGE family (whom I had traced before I found the murder, but only as far back as, roughly, 1490. Few families can have been given such an authoritative glimpse back into the past as this! Incidentally, while MAWGRIDGE/MAUGERIDGE were the favoured spelling of this " military branch " of the family in the 17th and early 18th centuries ( Westminster, Greenwich and Canterbury church records ) by the end of the 18th century the direct descendants of the branch were spelling it MOGGRIDGE. Which leads us neatly on to........... Pronunciation = Spelling = Chaos ! Martin Mogridges excellent summary of the IGI entries gives us a vivid pictures of the vagaries of the spelling of our family name. In the face of over 100 different spellings the temptation to think harshly of our forebears ( and of the clergy ) of those days for making such a bog of it all is a powerful one. On the other hand, one need only think of the circumstances of those early years of church ( and other ) registrations to understand how inevitable it was that all these variants would arise, notably: (a) At baptisms, marriages and burials, names were delivered orally to a clergy not all of whom were as literate as they claimed to be, by families few if any of whom could read or write. It was hardly surprising therefore that, in the absence of a family member able to correct an entry after the event - some extraordinary and often plain daft spellings were concocted - eg Thurloxton, Somerset: " Mary, dau of John & Margreatt Mogridge 9 April 1687 ( One family, one church. Three different spellings of Mogridge and three different spellings of Margaret ! ) (b) Nor were the clergy ( and other scribes ) as sensitive as they might have been to the phonetics of English names, especially when they were delivered in a dialect unfamiliar to them. It was almost certainly a family newly-arrived from the west country that presented their children to St. Margaret's Westminster for " MARRGRADGE " or " MARRGRAGE ". That was presumably the best that a puzzled London cleric could make of a broad Somerset/Devon delivery of MOGRIDGE. (c) In addition, there is some evidence that phonetic problems of this kind were compounded by " fashions " in the spelling of names in some areas of documentation ( army records, rate books, Treasury papers, land indentures ). One suspects that these were dictated in part by a sort of linguistic elitism, or even snobbery. For example, as noted above, military and Treasury scribes insisted on the MAW/MAUgeridge spelling. Parish clerks favoured MORGOridge in rate books, etc. It is my firm belief that the " Establishment " of the time (especially in London) thought it more proper or posh to pronounce the first syllable of MOG(G)RIDGE to rhyme with AWE rather than LOG, and spelt it accordingly. ( Even today, it is thought posher in some quarters to AWF rather than OFF and AWFICE rather than OFFICE). Mercifully, these spellings of our name had almost totally disappeared by the early 19th century to be replaced by MOGRIDGE or MOGGRIDGE. As Martin Mogridge observed in his note, the only survivors of the MAU spelling are those families who emigrated to the US and are now marooned there: linguistically speaking, of course! (d) Finally and obviously, it has to be said that some of the odder spellings are simply the result of good, old-fashioned misprints or error, either on the part of the church, the clerk, the IGI researchers, or the indexer. Most of us have a list of favourite howlers. Mine includes the marriage register of St Pauls Covent Garden which had a ROBERT MOGRUDGE marrying a MARY MILLS in 1765. Fortunately ROBERT signed boldly and clearly MOGRIDGE . St Marylebone Church had a ROBERT MOYRIDGE witnessing a marriage in 1772. No such man; it was MOGRIDGE again ! The IGI ( as well as repeating these errors) made one of its own when it listed a HENRY & ELENOR MOVERIDGE having a son ROBERT MOVERIDGE in Stepney St George's-in -the-East in 1734. The church register clearly shows the name as MOGERIDGE. A Treasury paper dated 1697 names a Mrs DOROTHY MORTGRIDGE petitioning for arrears of a pension granted to her following the death in action of her husband in the reign of Charles II. A few months later the Treasury records the payment of arrears to MRS MAWGRIDGE. So I suppose the moral is ! " Don't get too hung up on the precise spelling of the surname, especially if you are researching a specific branch of the family in a specific location. In particular, don't let any differences you encounter in the spelling persuade you that you must be looking at two different families. If Thurloxton is any guide, you probably aren't ! " FINALLY - Why the switch from MOGRIDGE to MOGGRIDGE ? One phenomenon that is difficult to explain is the evidence I have come across that, for some reason, many MOGRIDGE families appear to change to the MOGGRIDGE spelling, in " mid-life " so to speak. In most instances the change seems to occur some years after the family's arrival in London from - in the cases I have examined - Somerset. What is odd is that, so far, I have encountered no examples of a switch the other way - from MOGG to MOG. EXAMPLES WILLIAM MOGRIDGE. Son of Robert & Joane Mogridge of North Petherton, Somerset. Baptised 1683 (see IGI ). Entered Cambridge University in 1700 as William MOGridge. Emerged 1707 as William MOGGridge and became Vicar of Minehead and Rector of Porlock. Signed his Will as MOGGridge. Died 1763. ROBERT & HENRY MOGRIDGE. Brothers of William ( above ). Baptised 1694 and 1700 ( see IGI ). Moved to London about 1730. Both initially recorded as MOGridge, MOGEridge or MORGOridge. Late a both are shown (in either wills, land indentures or church registers) as MOGGridge, and all had their children baptised as MOGGridge. ROBERT MOGRIDGE. Date and place of birth not known. Appeared in marriage register in London as MOGridge in 1765 (see IGI). All six recorded offspring baptised 1769-1780 in London churches as MOGridge (IGI). But from about 1782 name began to appear as MOGGridge in street directories and rate books, and he signed MOGGridge as a marriage witness and on his Will. Died 1799.

The change in power-to-weight ratio is a significant 30-percent. Factor in the less effective brakes, heavier wheels, and the reduction in aerodynamic down force and you've got a package with notably less speed potential. That said, until the green flag drops, no one can accurately say how the new Corvette's will stack up against the Porsches, Ferraris, and BMWs that prevailed last year. Pratt & Miller's confidence rests on the powerful simulation tools which predict that this effort will be in the competitive thick of things.
One final note to all the wealthy swells in the reading audience tempted to don Nomex in order to try their hand at GT2 racing: Pratt & Miller will happily sell an exact match to the two cars they'll be racing this year. The list price of $750-800,000 covers a turn-key car that's been thoroughly shaken down at the track. A transporter, pit crew, tools, spares, and the requisite deep-pocket sponsor are not included. While this figure is roughly one-third higher than the price of a new 911 GT3 from Porsche, less expensive spares and the fact that no upgrades are required to match the factory team's performance brings the two rivals into parity from an operating-cost standpoint.
If, instead, you're just curious how the Corvette GT2Rs fare this season, plant your face to the television to watch the Sebring checkered flag fall at 10:30PM on March 20.

Try out this Write-up – Start Catching Bigger Fish Today With This Advice
Don't get frustrated and give up if you don't catch fish right away; stick with it. Fishing requires a lot of patience. Stay at least 30 minutes in any area before giving up on it. Patience is key. Sometimes the fish aren't biting because of temporary things like the weather, where the sun is located, or activity around the fishing spot.
When cleaning a fish, check the backbone. Certain species have a kidney there. You can remove it with a small spoon. This kidney will probably stay when you remove the intestines. Do not forget to get rid of it. Cooking a fish with its organs is not healthy, at all.
Do you hear the water calling your name? One of the best ways to enjoy the world's seas is through the ancient sport of fishing. People have enjoyed the thrills of catching fish for tens of thousands of years. Here you will find some good tips for fishing that will help you catch a few.
Use a dental floss container to hold your monofilament. This is a simple and effective way to store your monofilament. Also, when you are snipping leader, the floss dispenser has a built-in cutter that you can use, making that task that much easier. Saltwater fish tend to be a lot sharper when it comes to the scent of your bait. For that reason, it is usually advisable to fish with fresh live or fresh dead bait when fishing in salt water. This is more likely to attract fish from a distance than artificial lures with more subtle or less natural scents.
Although sunny days are known to many as a good time to do outdoor activities, it is the opposite when it comes to fishing. When there is an overcast sky, it's a great time to fish. You can find success in even the least amount of rain. Even if the weather is less than perfect, that may just add to your chances for success in fishing. Bring the right sunscreen if you're about to go out fishing. Large bodies of water can reflect the sun as much as the sky above. So protect any exposed skin with a good SPF 15 sunscreen while fishing and reapply every hour or so. Being patient is probably one of the best fishing tips to know. The may be times when you may go several hours or days without catching a single fish. Don't let yourself get frustrated, or you'll just end up ruining your day. When you leave for a fishing trip, make sure you have all of your essential gear with you. In the case of lures, and whether to use live bait, it will depend on the type of fishing you are doing. Different lures work in different situations, so learn what will help you to reach your goals.
Match your lure to the colors of small fish that the bigger fish like to eat. As an example, if the waters contain a lot of minnows, make sure to use a lure that is the same color and shade as a minnow.
If you're fishing using artificial bait, change the bait's color once in awhile. If you have not had even a nibble on your line and have spent a considerable amount of time on the water already, this tip can prove extremely valuable. There are times where fish react positively to brightly colored bait, so use this information to your advantage.
Be acutely aware of the environment. To become a successful fisherman, you have to be tuned in with your surroundings. Pay close attention to the noise level as well as the types of sounds in the area. Certain noises could be preventing the fish from biting. Watching the surface of the water may tip you off to the most likely hiding places for fish. Keep a close watch on any birds that are diving in the water because they are an excellent sign that fish are nearby. You should not always go fishing at the same spot time and time again. You might have had a run of good luck in a specific spot compared to others, but chances are that this run of luck won't last. Always try to avoid windy days if you are fly fishing. The more wind there is, the less accurate your casts will be. The optimum time for doing some fly fishing is around dawn or dusk when there is usually less wind. If you're finding it's too breezy, try fishing with the wind facing your back.

Estey Organ
Industry | Musical instruments |
Area served
Worldwide |
Products | Pump organs (Melodeon, American reed organ) |
The Estey Organ Company was founded by Jacob Estey when he bought out a Brattleboro, Vermont manufacturing business in 1852. The company went on to become the largest manufacturer of organs in the United States. The original company had been founded in 1846. It employed more than 500 people and its high-quality items were sold as far away as Africa, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Around 500,000 to 520,000 pump organs were built between 1846 and 1955.There were also Estey pianos made by the Estey Piano Company in New York City.
Jacob Estey[edit]
Jacob Estey (born 1814 in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, died 1890) ran away from an orphanage to Worcester, Massachusetts, where he learned the plumbing trade. He arrived in Brattleboro, Vermont in 1835 at age 21 to work in a plumbing shop which he soon bought and thereby began his long career as a successful businessman.
About 1850, Estey built a two-story shop in Brattleboro and rented it out to a small company which manufactured melodeons. When the renters were unable to pay rent, Estey took an interest in the business in lieu of rent, eventually becoming sole proprietor. Despite having no musical talent or skills as an inventor, Jacob Estey grew the company into a great success, giving up the plumbing business.[1]
Organ powerhouse[edit]
Jacob Estey saw the manufacturing and sale of these instruments, later known as American reed organs, as a new business opportunity. In 1855, Estey organized the first manufacturing company to bear his name, Estey & Green, which was followed by Estey & Company; J. Estey & Company; Estey Organ Company; and finally Estey Organ Corporation, until the company went out of business in 1960. Estey remained dormant until the Estey Company was resurrected in 1990 by Robert Fletcher of Fletcher Music Centers.
- Various types of Estey reed organs
In 1926 the company had the name Estey-Welte Corporation, it acquired in the same year the Hall Organ Company of West Philadelphia and a new built six-floor building at 695 Fifth Avenue as showrooms and salesrooms. This would become the new home of the company and the offices of the Welte Mignon Studios, as well of the other subsidiary companies. This were the Estey Piano Company, the Welte Mignon Corporation, the Welte Organ Company, the North American Discount Company, the Estey-Welte Securities Company and the Eswell Realty Corporation.[5] In 1926 Estey-Welte formed The Welte-Mignon Stuidos of Florida, Inc. in Palm Beach.[6]
During these more than one hundred years, Estey became the largest and best known manufacturer of reed organs in the world, building more than 520,000 instruments, all of which carried the inscription of "Brattleboro, Vt. USA". In 1901, Estey Organ Company embarked on the manufacture of pipe organs, becoming among the largest of USA pipe organ manufacturers, and built more than 3200 pipe organs across the USA, even shipping some abroad, before 1960. The company provided organs for many important locations, including New York City's Capital Theatre, the Sacramento, CA Municipal Auditorium, and Henry Ford's home in Dearborn, Michigan.
Also during the era of silent films, Estey made over 160 Theatre Organs.[7][not in citation given][8]
Later history[edit]
Following World War II, Estey undertook the development[citation needed] and manufacture of electronic organs, and thereby joined a limited number of companies which manufactured all three types of organs.
The Estey Organ company was purchased by Fletcher Music Centers in 1989 and subsequently continued to produce several models of home organs sold exclusively though their chain of retail stores throughout the 1990s. The models produced were very successful along with Fletcher Music's Lifetime Free Lesson program which allowed thousands of hobby players to learn how to play recreational music. Fletcher Music Centers and the Estey Organ Company corporate office is located in Clearwater, Florida.
The Estey family had a long tradition of company leadership and community involvement, including residential development such as Esteyville; banking; town government; schools; fire protection; military units; churches; and Vermont state politics and government. Estey Hall on the campus of Shaw University is named after Estey, who contributed to the construction of the building. Fletcher Music Centers continued the tradition of community involvement by helping fund a music therapy wing at All Children's Hospital located in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Among Estey's designers of electric organs was Harald Bode.

Sheffield United striker Nick Blackman has praised the contributions of strike partner Dave Kitson.
The duo have formed a promising partnership since starting together for the first time at Yeovil last month.
And Blackman, who netted the Blades' winner against Leyton Orient on Saturday, says the arrival of the former Portsmouth man has boosted their attacking options.
"Dave (Kitson) is so experienced, he never stops talking to me throughout the game, which only benefits my performance and he has also done really well," he told the club's official website.
"We have an excellent range of strikers to choose from so you know you have to be at your best each time you play."
Kitson, 32, has scored two goals in six appearances since switching to Bramall Lane in August this year.

LENA International Conference 2015 - From Research to Intervention, April 19th – April 21st 2015, Ritz-Carlton Denver, Colorado. Proposal submission begins Aug. 11, 2014
The Canadian Studies Programme at the University of Prince Edward Island - Call for Papers: Versions of Canada, Charlottetown, September 25-27, 2014
To mark the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, The Canadian Studies Programme at UPEI will host an interdisciplinary conference entitled Versions of Canada. The conference will coincide with the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Studies Network. The version of Canada that emerged 150 years ago was neither a clean starting point nor a sharp end point in the project of Canadian nation-making. In the days before and since Charlottetown, Canadians have offered-up many versions of what Canada was, is, and could be. To assert those definitions, to offer those versions – whether they emerge from writers, poets, artists, musicians, academics, broadcasters, or politicians – is to make a nation, to engage in what the Canadian intellectual Frank Underhill nearly 70 years ago called the "'moral struggle over the fundamental principles on which society should be based." Versions of Canada recognizes the complexity and contest involved in charting the meaning of Canada. We invite papers, panels of three and a moderator, roundtables and other forms of presentations organized around the broad theme of "versions" of Canada. We suggest (but do not demand) linkage to one or more of the following sub-themes: images, cultures, politics, narratives, discourses, places, identities, powers, authorities, experiences. Please send your abstract of 350 words, along with a one page curriculum vitae (for each presenter), and contact information by April 28th, 2014 to our Academic Programme Committee: for proposals in English, Greg Doran, English Department, University of Prince Edward Island, email@example.com
New! On New Shores Conference October 16 – 17, 2014, Toronto, Ontario. The theme of the conference will be Immigrant and Ethnic Minority Families: Bridging Across Cultural Boundaries. Call for Proposals
Proposal submission deadline is March 1, 2014. All proposals must be submitted to Dr. Susan S. Chuang by email: (email@example.com), and must be accompanied by a submission form.

How 'Draft Day' Director Ivan Reitman Got His Groove Back
Features By Jack Giroux on April 14, 2014 | Be the First To CommentMeatballs, Stripes, Ghostbusters and Dave are four of Ivan Reitman's films that have stood the test of time. When Reitman was on top of his game, the now 67-year-old filmmaker hit grand slams. I'm not using these sports metaphors because his latest film, Draft Day, includes the NFL Draft, but because, like athletes, some directors have hot streaks and cold streaks. For an array of reasons, slumps happen. Reitman's lasted 18 years. After Dave he directed Junior, Father's Day, Evolution, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and Six Days, Seven Nights. A few of those films had glimmers of hope that Reitman hadn't lost his touch, but during those years, only as a producer was he making quality movies. People generally focus on the films that proceeded Dave, not Old School, Up in the Air, I Love You, Man and Private Parts, and one of those acclaimed films he came close to directing. "It was stupid," Reitman says, on why he didn't direct Private Parts himself. "I was doing three movies at once: Space Jam, which I was sort of directing, but I wasn't officially directing; Father's Day, which I shouldn't have directed, because we never got the script right; and Private Parts. Private Parts was the one I gave up, and I shouldn't have."
Could the Cleveland Browns Really Get a Winning Team on 'Draft Day'?
Features By Kevin Carr on April 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentAnyone who follows sports knows that being a fan of the Cleveland Browns can be a heartbreaking endeavor. Of all the teams in the NFL, the Browns seem to pull the short straw the most. They have never been to the Super Bowl, let alone won the big game. (Of course, any good Browns fan will tell you that they won plenty of national championships in the 50s and 60s before the creation of the Super Bowl, but that only makes it sting a little less.) Sure, three other teams share this distinction with the Cleveland Browns, but two of them were recent expansion teams (the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans). The other is the Detroit Lions, and that city gets more bad press than Cleveland. (Sorry, Detroit.) Having a go at Cleveland teams and their often unfortunate records has become a bit of a tradition in Hollywood. Back in 1989, the film Major League poked some fun at the then-terrible Cleveland Indians, seeing the team fictionally win the pennant. Now, cinema history seems to be repeating itself with the film Draft Day, in which Kevin Costner plays the general manager who tries to wheel and deal a winning team during the NFL draft. Though it may be a bit more Moneyball than Major League for football, Draft Day is striking a chord with Cleveland fans. As one die-hard Browns fan said to me at my press screening for the film, "Yeah, it's fictional, but this may be the […]
'Draft Day' Review: Finally, a Sports Movie for People Who Really Like Sports (and Split Screens)
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on April 10, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIt's NFL draft time, and the Cleveland Browns' general manager Sonny Weaver (Kevin Costner) is in a tight spot. The pressure is on from the public, the team's owner (Frank Langella), the coach (Denis Leary) and the rest of the organization to build the best team possible. He manages the unthinkable early on and gets his team the first pick, but it was a panicked move that actually does more harm than good. Now he's on the clock and running out of time — it's the ninth inning, he's in the end zone, and there's blood on the ice — oh, and his girlfriend (Jennifer Garner) just told him that she's pregnant. This is the kind of crazy day that can only fully be captured with split screens. Lots and lots of split screens. Thankfully director Ivan Reitman is happy to oblige. It's almost as if he just discovered the technology or is trying to win a contest. Draft Day is a poor man's Moneyball in the sense that the screenwriters probably watched Moneyball at some point and thought to themselves "what if a rogue personality went against the grain to build their, wait for it, football team?" In addition to changing sports though they also swapped statistics and logic for gut instinct and contrivance, replaced character depth with daddy issues and removed any semblance of dramatic suspense by setting the story entirely on one day and off the field.
Imagine a med student with orange dreadlocks down to his ass during the early 1990s. Do you have that horrifying mental image yet? Any takers on who that now-famous man might be? That's right, it's Joseph McGinty Nichol from Kalamazoo, Michigan. Like plenty of driven young filmmakers, Nichol one day dropped out of school, packed his things and moved to Hollywood. Without any connections, he pushed his way into the industry with the help of a pizza delivery service. He put a copy of one of his music videos in a pizza box and had it delivered to an executive, who was tickled enough to give it a watch. That box of pizza gave birth to the man we all now know as McG, the director behind Charlie's Angels, We Are Marshall, Terminator Salvation and his newest film, 3 Days to Kill. Nichol has had that nickname ever since he was a kid. In some ways, it is representative of his career: a little silly, but self-aware and unapologetic. "It's never been fun to critically praise a 'McG movie,'" he jokes. "It even begins with my ridiculous name. My name is who I am. My movies seem to further that difficulty. I try for drama, humor and action and yet try to make well-rounded movies." General audience members could care less about Nichol's nickname, but it's turned him into a punching bag on the Internet, for both fanboys and, sometimes, critics.
12 Big Questions Left Unanswered By '3 Days to Kill'
Features By Christopher Campbell on February 22, 2014 | Comments (3)One of the first things answered in 3 Days to Kill is that this isn't in fact a Taken retread. Maybe it's a parody of the Liam Neeson-starring action movie — self-parody given that both movies are written and produced by Luc Besson — but the tone is surprisingly closer to the delectably cartoonish hitman movie Shoot 'Em Up mixed with the frustratingly dumb fourth and fifth Die Hard installments. With bits of The Visitor thrown in for pretty much no reason at all. It is a bizarrely stylish yet broadly comic pulp thriller more interested in the familiar trope of an absent father trying to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter than the spy plot it's primarily sold on. In playing with genre and narrative expectations the movie becomes extremely silly, maybe intentionally so, but also filled with plot holes and unanswered questions — also maybe intentionally without concern. If Besson does mean to make fun of what he's been doing with the Taken franchise (and maybe some of his early success with action heroines) the result is quite cheeky but still rather unmemorable considering we'll still always favor Neeson and his very particular set of skills to Kevin Costner and his overly non-particular talent as the best worst (or worst best) cleaner for the CIA. This may be the kind of movie that doesn't warrant going over unanswered questions, especially if the filmmakers meant for little thinking on their or our part at all, but below I've highlighted […]
'3 Days to Kill' Review: McG Gets One Right With the Help of Kevin Costner and Amber Heard
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on February 20, 2014 | Comments (1)14 years ago McG successfully transitioned from music videos to film with Charlie's Angels, but his films that followed varied in quality. For the most part, he's tagged with the less-than-flattering title of a "hack." A director only invested in a buck wouldn't have made We Are Marshall, but there's no denying he generally aims for a broad audience. Sometimes that means he make the most obvious choices instead of the most inspired, but the same cannot be said for his newest movie, 3 Days to Kill. Screenwriters Luc Besson and Adi Hasak have finally given McG a well-rounded script to bring to life. 3 Days to Kill is mostly lean, often funny, and its central character, Ethan Renner (Kevin Costner), is a respectable addition to Besson's long line of bad-asses. Ethan is a top operative ready to quit so he can have more time with his wife (Connie Nielsen) and his estranged daughter, Zoey (Hailee Steinfield). His plans hit a snag though when he discovers he's dying. The only way he can buy more time is by taking an experimental drug, offered by Vivi Delay (Amber Heard), in exchange for his services. So, yes, this is another "one last job" and father-daughter issues action movie.
Does Kevin Costner's Comeback Year Really Spell a Change For the Actor?
Features By Adam Bellotto on February 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentIf in the past few weeks, you've gone to the movies, watched TV, surfed the internet, or tried to divine the future from a mug of tea leaves, you've probably seen Kevin Costner's face. That guy is everywhere. Seriously. Costner went from an infrequent film actor and a guy whose glory days seemed almost certainly behind him, to an actor with no less than five major films coming out in 2014 alone. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. 3 Days to Kill. Draft Day. Black and White. McFarland. Every one releases this year, and of the five, Jack Ryan is the only one where Costner isn't in the lead role. So if you're seeing movies, you're seeing Costner. If you're watching TV, you're watching ads for Costner. And if you're online, you've no doubt come across at least one of these articles, all with the same general thesis:
10 Big Questions Left Unanswered By 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit'
Features By Christopher Campbell on January 18, 2014 | Comments (5)The thing that separates Jack Ryan movies from the James Bonds and the Mission: Impossibles and the Bournes, etc., is that Ryan is an analyst for the CIA. That means they should be smarter than your average spy thriller. Sometimes they're at least as smart. However, the latest, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, is one of the dumbest, more cliched entries of the genre. It's an embarrassment of plotting and exposition, with so many instances of presumed circumstances that fortuitously turn out to happen that it may as well be called "Jack Ryan: Lucky Duck." To put it in modern context, it's like a bad episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. yet has a lot less interest in characters and the logical choices they'd make. Questions I had leftover at the end of Shadow Recruit may be explained in Tom Clancy's Ryan novels, but that shouldn't matter. This isn't even an adaptation so much as an "original" story inspired by those books and featuring a character with the same name. I wouldn't be surprised if fans of Clancy find it no more a true Ryan installment than Die Hard fans found A Good Day to Die Hard recognizable as a movie fitting into that series. Feel free to give me clarification or suggestion of an answer to any of these, and remember that, though it should be obvious, this post is full of SPOILERS if you haven't yet seen the movie.
Kenneth Branagh on Supplying 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' With An Authentic Backbone
Features By Jack Giroux on January 18, 2014 | Comments (1)Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit isn't an action movie. Sir Kenneth Branagh's reboot of the Tom Clancy-based franchise is a straight-up thriller, and that's an important distinction to make. The film may have a globetrotting story, which goes from New York to Moscow, but Branagh's set pieces are all contained, even the motorcycle chase at the very end. If you counted the amount of bullets fired in this movie, it would be drastically less than most spy thrillers. That fact likely spoke to Branagh, who was more invested in Jack Ryan's quick thinking than the character's skills in combat. If you asked him about Thor a few years ago, he would've expressed more interest in the themes of brotherhood than Thor swinging his hammer around. Branagh has always been a character-driven filmmaker. When you make a juicy four-hour version of Hamlet, you have to be. Everything from that Shakespeare adaptation to even Peter's Friends seems to play a part in Branagh's blockbuster filmmaking. The director and co-star (he plays the Russian villain, Viktor) recently discussed his progression towards tentpole filmmaking with us, along with the excitement and education that comes with it.
As the year comes to a close, many people are assembling their best and worst of the year lists. This can also inspire people to look back at some of the best and worst of previous years. While Kevin Costner's infamous 1995 box office behemoth Waterworld is fondly remembered by some (evidenced by the possibly surprising RottenTomatoes score of 43%), most people remember it for its cost overruns and ballooning budget that threatened to break Universal's bank. (Spoiler alert: Even though Waterworld was famous for its massive budget that wasn't even remotely recouped at the U.S. box office, it eventually broke even with international numbers, home video sales, and other ancillary revenue streams.) I fall in the column of people who thought the film was a bit of a turkey. Sure, it was impressive in some respects, but the story and characters weren't enough to keep me interested. There was also this little thing called "science" that bothered me throughout the film. This wasn't a sticking point for other famous flops from the 90s like Cutthroat Island, The 13th Warrior, and Costner's other albatross The Postman. Those really weren't science fiction per se. But Waterworld was. And looking back almost twenty years, that got me thinking: How realistic were the events of Waterworld?
'3 Days to Kill' Trailer: Kevin Costner Takes the 'Taken' Route For Career Rejuvenation
Movie News By Jack Giroux on December 22, 2013 | Comments (2)As the old saying goes: the more Kevin Costner, the better. At least that's what the saying should be, as Costner brought a ton of heart to Man of Steel and will soon appear in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. It's unclear whether he will get to smack some thugs around in that movie, and if that's not the case, he'll have the opportunity to do so a month later in 3 Days to Kill. Costner plays Ethan Runner, a dying ex-secret service agent who, in service for one last mast mission, is handed an experimental drug that'll give him more time with his estranged daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). Since the movie is directed by McG and co-written by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element), it's not as serious as it sounds. The first trailer for the film gives a clear sense of what they're aiming for. Take a look:
'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' Trailer Introduces a New Hero With a Familiar Name
Movie News By Rob Hunter on October 3, 2013 | Comments (2)Fathers everywhere may have lost their favorite novelist recently with the passing of author Tom Clancy, but the man left a multitude of parting gifts on his way out the door. At least two new Clancy-branded videogames hit shelves in a couple months, and his most memorable fictional character is getting a big screen reboot. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit brings the famed C.I.A. analyst back to his rookie days and his first real adventure after he discovers a Russian plot to upend the U.S. economy through deadly terrorist attacks. This is the first of the Ryan films to not be based on one of Clancy's novels, and that's fitting as it's once again an attempt at building a future franchise for the character. Chris Pine, already no stranger to franchise characters previously played by others, steps into the title role and follows in the big footsteps of Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. This is particularly impressive for an actor of Pine's miniature stature (see above). Check out the first trailer for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit below.
Casting Couch: Ad-Rock May Work With Baumbach, Kevin Costner is Thinking About Smuggling Drugs, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 16, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a daily news column that compiles the biggest casting scoops from all around the Internet. Today's edition is absolutely bursting with news, so let's jump right in. Due to his being a member of The Beastie Boys, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz is a legend in the rap game. Many don't know that he has a little bit of a history in the acting world though. Of course, many don't know that because his career consisted of a couple small roles in the late 80s and early 90s, and then he seemed to forget about his little hobby. The Wrap has a report that Horovitz might soon be making a big acting comeback though, because apparently he's in talks to join Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts in Noah Baumbach's (Frances Ha) next film, While We're Young. In it Horovitz would be playing a new father who can no longer relate to Stiller and Watts' characters because they don't have kids, which is pretty much the most frightening notion ever for those of us who remember Ad-Rock as being a beer-swilling teenager on MTV's spring break.
Casting Couch: Nic Cage May Fall in Love With a Prostitute For 'Lost Melody,' Kevin Costner Will Inspire in 'McFarland,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 2, 2013 | Comments (1)What is Casting Couch? It's a gathering together of the industry's casting news, a collection of that last little bit of work agents are doing before they abandon their desks for the extended holiday weekend. Today we've got new Woody Allen players, new Beach Boys, and new jobs for Mary Elizabeth Winstead. A deal is currently on the table that may lead to Nic Cage starring in director Terry Zwigoff's (Bad Santa) next sure-to-be-crude film. The project is called Lost Melody, and if the negotiations with Cage go well it will see him playing a man who decides to give up hope regarding his shrew wife in order to fall in love with a prostitute (that old mid-life crisis cliche again?). Zwigoff co-wrote the script with Melissa Axelrod, who seems to have worked doing odd jobs for the director going all the way back to Crumb. [The Wrap]
Review: 'Man of Steel' Is At Its Best When Superman's Feet Are On the Ground
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on June 13, 2013 | Comments (32)We first meet Kal-El exiting his mother's alien vagina. It's no different from an Earth woman's vagina aside from, presumably, its reinforced structural walls, but the birth is of extreme importance on the dying planet of Krypton. The infant's father, Jor-El (Russell Crowe), has accused Kryptonian politicians of dooming the planet and its people through short-sightedness and ignorance. General Zod (Michael Shannon) agrees with Jor-El, but instead of talking it out with those in power, he orchestrates a violent coup to seize control. It's amid the ensuing chaos, both natural and man-made, that the baby boy is shipped off to Earth. More than two decades later Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) is a quiet loner, traveling the world anonymously in search of answers to who he really is and performing amazing feats of rescue along the way. His lack of identity never gets in the way of his desire to help people, but when an alien ship is discovered frozen beneath the ice, his curiosity triggers a chain reaction of events that provides him with answers while simultaneously leading to the brink of mankind's destruction. Man of Steel is every inch a Zack Snyder/Christopher Nolan production, and there's both good and bad in that statement. Snyder's directorial hand ensures the film is a visual powerhouse filled with real spectacle while Nolan uses his producer powers to find the traditionally bright and colorful superhero's darker, grittier and more angst-ridden tones, but they also bring with them a shared preference of imagery and […]
Casting Couch: Kevin Costner is a Grandfather, Colin Firth is Teaming Up With Woody Allen, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 30, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a gathering together of casting news from all across the Internet. Today we finally, finally know who Disney has cast as the lead of their new version of Cinderella. It seems like just yesterday Kevin Costner was playing sleazy baseball players and checking little girls for tattoos of the map to dry land, but now he's going to be a grandfather. Deadline is reporting that the veteran actor is all set to re-team with his Upside of Anger director, Mike Binder, to star in a new film called Black and White. The story will see Costner's character taking care of his bi-racial granddaughter after both his daughter and his wife die due to tragic accidents. If all of that isn't already bad enough, more trouble comes along when the baby's paternal grandmother comes along and wants to take the kid away from him. Sounds like he's going to have to lay on some of that patented Costner charm to get through this one.
Casting Couch: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Gets More High-Profile Offers, Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo Team Up For HBO, and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 7, 2013 | Comments (1)Today was basically Godzilla day on the Internet. All sorts of news regarding Legendary Pictures' reboot of the big green guy's film series broke, and some of it involves casting. THR broke the news that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was being looked at to star, but one of their writers, Borys Kit, was then quick to point out that his potential involvement in the film is long dead. Variety writer Justin Kroll then jumped in with the news that a few names that are still possibilities for the project are Henry Cavill, Scoot McNairy, and Caleb Landry Jones. All of this news comes with a special thanks to /Film, who compiled all the chatter into a tight little narrative. Even though things between Gordon-Levitt and Godzilla didn't work out, don't let that make you think that he's going to go an entire week without being attached to a high profile project. In more Gordon-Levitt news, Deadline has word that the in-demand actor has just signed on to play a big role in Robert Rodriguez's Sin City sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Apparently he's going to be playing Johnny, a role that was meant to go to Johnny Depp at one point, and that is said to be a core character in the overlapping parts of the film's story lines. This comes at the same time as news that Gordon-Levitt's possible involvement in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy isn't going to end up happening, which is essential information if you happen to be exhaustively journaling all […]
Casting Couch: Jackie Chan Becomes 'Expendable,' Noomi Rapace May Join Tom Hardy in 'Animal Rescue,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on December 17, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a column that has a lot of new casting news today, so settle in. Even after only two movies, the number of aged action stars who have yet to appear in Sylvester Stallone's Expendables series has dwindled down to a select few. So, given his age, his lengthy resume, and the way he's linked almost exclusively to the action genre, Jackie Chan has to be seen as one of the biggest fish out there that Stallone has yet to catch. It looks like that's going to change in The Expendables 3, however, as Chan has told Cinema Online [via Coming Soon] that Stallone has invited him to join the cast of the film, and he has agreed to appear as long as it's in a featured part and not just a cameo. Looks like we might finally get our chance to see Dolph Lundgren get beat up with a ladder.
Casting Couch: Hugh Jackman Will Likely Pop His Claws in 'Days of Future Past,' Charlize Theron Is Looking For Some 'Lady Vengeance,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on November 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's starting to wonder how many times Hugh Jackman can play Wolverine before his sideburns start to stick that way. Hot on the heels of the announcement that the original Professor X and Magneto, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, would be joining Bryan Singer's X-Men: First Class sequel, X-Men: Days of Future Past, comes word that yet another actor from the original X-Men trilogy, Hugh Jackman, is also negotiating. This makes sense, of course, because Jackman's brief cameo in First Class was the first indication we got that Matthew Vaughn's reboot and Singer's original films might actually exist in the same universe. Now that Singer has Stewart, McKellen, and Jackman on board, the only other actors he needs to poach from those first X-Men movies is…well, no one. It's kind of amazing how well those movies cast these three guys and how poorly they cast every single other character. Hopefully this is the end of the colliding of worlds. [THR]
Kevin Costner Is Having the Best Year Ever, Adds 'Draft Day' to Packed Schedule
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on October 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhoever Kevin Costner's agent is deserves the most ostentatious, wallet-busting, heart attack-inducing gift basket on the planet because they are working hard for the money. Let's recap. Costner, who, as of a year or so ago, everyone had pretty much sort of forgotten about other than to mention in passing, "oh, yeah, Kevin Costner, I liked that guy" came smashing back into the collective Hollywood consciousnesses with last summer's rumor that he would co-star in Django Unchained (though that proved fruitless), used that zing to get cast in Man of Steel, then grabbed an Emmy-winning role in Hatfields & McCoys, a major part in Jack Ryan, and a starring role in McG's next thriller. Is Costner done yet? Not by a mile. Vulture reports (via The Playlist) that Costner will now topline Ivan Reitman's Draft Day, an NFL-centric film that follows the manager of the Buffalo Bills (Costner's new role) on one heck of a day: the day he's trying to land the number one draft pick in order to make all sorts of nutty trades, made all the more complicated by personal drama (you know, draft day). Sounds fun and all, but now it seems like Draft Day may have another feather in its cap, and not just of the Costner variety.
